# Launching instances from AMI

The AMI created in the previous step can now be used to generate each of our 3 EC2 instances for our metagraph.

**Visit the AMI Page**

Select the AMI we created previously and press the **`Launch instance from AMI`** button.

**Configure Instance**

Name your instance, select the **`Instance Type`** as **`t2.xlarge`**, choose your **`Key pair`**, and select the appropriate **`Security Groups`**.

**Launch Instance**

Press the `Launch Instance` button.

**Repeat**

Perform the above steps 3 times to create 3 EC2 instances from the AMI.

**Connect to Instances**

Find the ip address of each instance in the EC2 dashboard and connect using your previously generated SSH key. You should be able to access all 3 instances and confirm they are properly configured.

```
ssh -i "MyKeypair.pem" ubuntu@ip.of.your.instance
```

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.constellationnetwork.io/metagraph-development/guides/deploy-a-metagraph/base-instance/launching-instances-from-ami.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
